I'm getting into the candy bit, too! We had an Autumn party, so I made sugar cookies, separated the dough into 4 parts, and dyed one green, one orange, one red, and one yellow. I rolled them out so they would mix (or "marble"), used leave-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the autumn leaves, then baked & cooled them.

Then, using the chocolate disks & the smallest squeeze bottle I could find at a craft store, I piped the "veins" of the leaves on them. Everyone LOVED them!


Our "thing" was pillows, though. Everyone made each other pillows in some fashion - by fusing letters & names onto the pillow, then using fabric paint to "seal" the edges, or even sewing them from scratch. Some were embroidered very elaborately!
